825 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 This Flycatcher has been sitting in a box for years as I had problems getting the upper wing on straight and staying straight. I got it out as part of my 'let's get these finished' drive this year and there was a lot of filing down of hard superglue, new cabane struts made and a lot of straightening out of the main interplanetary struts. I was worried the undercarriage would be weak and be a nightmare to assemble but it wasn't too bad, maybe I'm improving with my skills. It's not perfect but it's a decent resemblance of this iconic Fleet fighter. The kit, which dates from the 1980s, is a mixed media, short run kit with the main parts injection moulded and the detail in white metal. It comes complete with transfers, which I had put on years ago. So I had to work around them and touch them. Built as S1287 of 405 Flight Naval Air Service from HMS Glorious in the 1930s. Painted with Revell Aluminium. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
